Description: It's Christmas Eve at JFK in NYC.

Charlotte is a British student, waiting for a flight home after the worst semester of her life. Anthony is a native New Yorker, surprising his girlfriend at the airport after three months apart. Charlotte has just been dumped, and Anthony is about to be dumped, right in the middle of the holiday crowd.

Charlotte's flight is canceled when a blizzard blows in, and Anthony can't bear to go home. So, they set out into the city together, clutching a book Charlotte picks up in the airport gift shop: Ten Easy Steps for Getting Over Your Ex. For this one night, they'll focus on healing their broken hearts ... together.

Step-by-step, the two struggle to put the past behind them. But the snow is so enchanting, and the holiday lights are so beguiling, that soon their shared misery gives way to something else. Soon, they're not only over their exes --- they're falling for each other.

Then a subway ride splits them up by mistake. Will they reunite before Charlotte's flight leaves New York forever?

Part Before Sunrise, part Sleepless in Seattle, this delightful story will appeal to anyone who sees the romance in a swirl of snowflakes at the top of the Empire State Building, or anyone who's wondered if true love was waiting at the other end of the airport ticket counter.


Hello Readers!

I am reviewing Kiss Me in New York by Catherine Rider. I was given a free copy of it through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Any quotes that may follow below are from the text and are not my words.

I am sure that we all have dealt with bad breakups. It is rare for people to never have one. It is also rare that they go well. The dissolution of a relationship is a death of sorts. You tend to go through the stages of grief. Then one day, you finally realize that you will live. This book deals with that. Two heartbroken people and the quest that they take on to find closure and heal.

To say that I enjoyed this book would be an understatement. It was very good. The characters were relatable. I found myself thinking, "I have been there.". The author's use of New York made it another character in a way. You could look at a map and trace the journey that the characters are a part of.  I could not help but smile at this. This book deals with so much more than just breakups. It deals with self-esteem issues, grief, self-doubt, betrayal, and pain. Like I said, it is definitely something most have endured.

I am rating this book Four Red Books because there were moments where it was predictable. It also had some moments where it drug a little or characters were introduced that weren't exactly necessary. I will most likely read this book again. It was a very fun read and I will be recommending it.
